People who have had a near death experience often report that they felt more alive when they were dead then when they were alive.
Some people feel that maybe in death they were actually alive, sort of a reversal.
This feeling seems to be one of the reasons for new vitality after the experience.
Changes in values and beliefs often occur in the experiencer after a near-death experience, including changes in personality and outlook on life, such as a greater appreciation for life, higher self-esteem, greater compassion for others, a heightened sense of purpose and self-understanding, and a desire to learn.
Studies have shown that over 90 percent of people who had a near death experience had this feeling.
